Crystal is now available for the iPad, iPhone, and IPod Touch. Long a favorite synthesizer on the desktop, the synthesis capabilities of Crystal are now available in the palm of your hand.

Browse through the included sounds and use the 2 octave keypad to trigger notes to produce evolving, rhythmic, or melodic sounds. Create your own sounds with a single button press using the breed feature. When using an iPad, you can delve into a tweakers dream by using the extensive editing features to sculpt sounds to your heart's content.

Crystal features both subtractive synthesis and frequency modulation (FM) synthesis. It offers abundant modulation control with over 90 parameters which may be modulated, multi-stage envelopes with graphical editors, extensive tempo sync of envelopes/lfo rates/delay times, built-in effects for chorus/flanging/comb filtering/echoes, and a band splitter for effects processing by frequency band. Not only that, Crystal has wave sequencing and granular synthesis. The musical applications for Crystal are literally boundless.

There are two different versions of the mobile Crystal to choose from, Crystal Synth and Crystal Synth XT, so you can select the one that is best for you.

Crystal Synth is the basic version. With this version you can browse sounds, play notes, and create new sounds, taking advantage of its powerful semimodular synthesis engine.

Crystal Synth XT adds MIDI keyboard input, sharing of sounds with other apps via audio copy and paste, and sharing of patches with the desktop version.

With MIDI keyboard input, you can connect a MIDI keyboard to your iPad using Apple’s camera adapter and play Crystal like a hardware synth. Or use the MIDI Mobilizer from Line 6 to connect a MIDI keyboard to your iPhone.

With patch sharing you can create sounds on your iPad or iPhone while away from the studio, then transfer them to the desktop Crystal when you get back to the studio to use in recording projects. Or, create banks of sounds on the desktop Crystal, then transfer them to the iPad/iPhone Crystal to use in a live performance for a truly portable rig.
